Antsy-pants

Any readers who have been following the blog since its inception, or even just for a little while, know that there must be some light at the end of the tunnel. Well – you’re right. We are officially over 11 months into this deployment, and considering it was slated for 12-14 months, we are obviously near the end. Lets just say we are looking at less than a bakers dozen in total

Because the countdown is nearing a close, I can’t help but be antsy. I will take a quote from my FRG lead, direct from a message from her… “I AM SOOO ANTSY ITS RIDICULOUS! AHHHHHHHH!!!”

That being said – if you have noticed that you are hearing from me a little sparsely, its because i am extremely jam packing my schedule – my MBA classes started up for the spring semester, I’ve taken on more at work, I’m working on my side business, and I have taken to the treadmill to work on my 5k race time. My free time at the computer is less, but you will still hear from me!

While I know its not done yet – I wanted to use this post as a thank you to those who have gotten me through….to Amanda and Kristi for not only amusing me with your funny, witty, informative musings, but for inspiring me to write myself. To the readers of the blog, who though you may not comment often, I know you’re out there reading, and for those with deployed soldiers, I hope my words, and those of others, have been a source of support for you. And for those of you who were inspired to donate, whether it be golf clubs, coffee, a care package or a letter, thank you!
